Noel is a 10-week-old Domestic Shorthair cat in Easley, SC, who needs $2,000 for urgent surgery.

Noel needed a lifeline, and she got one when Feline Lifeline saved her.

Now, the rescue group and Noel need your help.

This adorable kitten has an incredibly rare congenital condition. The linings of her rectum and vagina are connected, and a hole developed between them.

She needs urgent surgery to fix the problem. The rescue is trying to raise the money--stat!

"Noel ran out of the bushes and to a stranger to be rescued," Angie C., with the group, tells Waggle. "She is a very affectionate and friendly young kitten. If we can get her past this, she has her life ahead to grow."

The estimate for the procedure is between $3,000 and $6,000.

Please help Noel get her lifesaving operation so she can find her forever family!
